Gone are the days of great grades from an upstanding school being enough to open the pearly gates of prestige.
In this day and age, Rim urges Ivy hopefuls to make a positive impression with “a specialized and actionable hook” on their application. “Ivy League schools seek to put together classes of students who are specialists in their areas of interest.
Still, when presenting yourself on an application, whether on the personal statement, the resume, or the interview, you don’t want to compete against everyone else, conceded Chanin. Instead, focus on the superpowers you possess and lean into those. “If you’re a straight A-student captain of the baseball team with an affinity for math, that is excellent. What’s more memorable, however, is to show the relationship between your passions,” said Chanin. “Perhaps you use your math prowess and data analysis to optimize your performance in baseball, making you an even more competitive performer. This framing weaves together your various passions.”
Stylistically, Chanin recommends hooking the reader with an intriguing anecdote that reveals something weird and compelling about you. “You’re not showing off as much as helping the Ivy see how your brain is wired and what you geek out over,” she said.
